Proc REss OF TIE WATER Provocative
are able To make a gratifying report Of the
progress of the Water Project. At q meet
ing called by the committee named at the
preliminary Citizens Meeting, the report
made by the committee was accepted and

movement to put their money in it and as
in such matters 1t is money that evokcs the
lnudcst echoes, there are satisfactory reasons
why VIC should predict the eventual consum-
nation Of our most sanguine wishes. This
